Dulux will be delivering a CPD session focused on the principles of effective paint specification, with an emphasis on durability, performance, and sustainability.
The presentation will guide quantity surveyors through the key factors that influence long-term value, including substrate assessment, product selection, lifecycle costing, and compliance with current environmental standards. By exploring how high-quality, responsibly manufactured coatings can reduce maintenance cycles and improve whole-life building performance, the session aims to equip delegates with the knowledge needed to make informed, future-proof specification decisions.
The CPD will be delivered by Gary Johnston, who has over ten years of experience at Dulux, specialising in technical specification. Gary is currently the lead for the Building Design sector for the UK, working closely with architects, designers, and surveyors to ensure the right coating solutions are selected for each project. His expertise centres on delivering specifications that prioritise durability, sustainability, and long-term lifecycle performance.
Through this CPD, Gary will draw on this industry experience to provide clear guidance on best practice in paint specification, helping attendees understand how informed product choices can enhance building performance, reduce maintenance costs, and support sustainable project outcomes.
